Calling it now

The Cowboys defense ranked 17th in points per drive. If they can break into the top ten in points per drive, they’ll have something.

Meaningless.

They were 8th in yards per game. Ergo, they are already a really good defense.

At least that seems to be the logic from the homer crowd.
 
I don't get the Commanders and Giants hype. Don't think they made that much of an improvement compared to last season.
If Connor Williams is going to improve our offense so is W Hernandez going to improve Giants and the new tackle cant remember his name.
Commanders made some real additions

Solder might be the worst offseason contract handed out this offseason.
 
Our defense is a one major ? mark!
Stopping the run and pressuring the QB will tell the tale how it goes for the defense this coming season.....
 
It’s not surprising the point eluded you.

But that is not the way the NFL ranks defenses

I don't think the NFL officially ranks offenses or defenses. Do you have some reference to the NFL ranking defenses in some official capacity. This is the Best Defense, not just a table of stats?

The rankings I use are posted on NFL.COM that is all I posted and until they change the way they do it that is what I will go by They post stats with their rank of each team always have this is not something new
 
A little off topic, but using Yards allowed as a metric for ranking the D is just plain stupid. The one and only stat that really matters in the end is Points Allowed, all the other crap is just that crap. Games are won and lost with points.. if we don't let the other team score more than we do, then I like our odds of winning the game.
17 points or less. That's what top defenses allow. Yards mean almost nothing.
